Let’s start this week off with dessert first; a beer inspired by one of the most iconic desserts - Rice Krispie Treats from Maplewood.
Maplewood Brewery & Distillery, out of Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, quickly became my go-to brewery in the city where they have remained for quite some time now.
Over the past two years or so, Maplewood has introduced a few different “series” – like their Cuppa (a stout with rotating additives), Mr. Shakey (milkshake IPA with rotating fruits), and their newest Softcore Mutilation (a foeder-aged mixed fermentation series).
